GLP-1 Cost Comparison Checklist

A plain checklist for comparing pharmacy medicine costs, private prescriptions, and research-vial pricing.

Direct answer

Use this to separate official medicine pricing from research-vial pricing. The two markets are not interchangeable.

Telehealth quote

Monthly clinic or subscription number you were quoted.

12-month projection based on the numbers you entered.

$5,400

Private medicine path

Private pharmacy or approved-medicine estimate if eligible.

12-month projection based on the numbers you entered.

$6,600

Research vial path

PeptideLab-style vial pricing. Proof still matters before payment.

12-month projection based on the numbers you entered.

$1,788

This tool compares visible price assumptions only. It does not compare legal status, medical suitability, prescription eligibility, insurance, safety monitoring, or dosing.

Tool output is for evidence review only. It's not medical advice, treatment advice, dosing guidance, or a personal outcome prediction.

Check PeptideLab's Retatrutide Page

Research peptides are not approved by the TGA for human use. Supplier links are for checking visible batch and payment details, not medical advice.

Why compare yearly cost instead of one vial?+

A one-off price hides the real spend. A 12-month view shows whether a clinic quote, private medicine path, or research-vial route is actually cheaper.

Does the cost tool include medical consults?+

You can add your own monthly clinic or private medicine estimate. The tool keeps the assumptions visible instead of pretending there is one official price.

Is research-vial pricing the same as pharmacy pricing?+

No. Research-grade material and approved pharmacy medicine are different markets with different legal status, oversight, and supply chains.
